Party Executive Director Renee Lapeyrolerie said the Democratic State
Central Committee meeting was to be held six hours before its annual
Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, one of the party's major fundraising events.
She said she thought compacting the events into one day would save time
and travel, but not enough committee members said they would attend the
meeting to make a quorum to conduct business.

Lapeyrolerie said party officials will reschedule the meeting "in
about 30 days" to take up a delegate-selection plan for the 2012
presidential convention as well as serve as a pep rally for Democratic
candidates looking to run for statewide and district offices.
